+Peripheral Support for crates.io uploads
+----------------------------------------
+Certain Mesa crates are uploaded to crates.io at the discretion of certain
+sub-communities of Mesa.  These crates are:
+
+- https://crates.io/crates/mesa3d_util
+
+These crates are used as dependencies to other Rust-based projects, such as:
+
+- https://crates.io/crates/rutabaga_gfx/0.1.61/dependencies
+
+This is not supported by the "core" Mesa quarterly release cycles, and the
+official Mesa maintainers are not liable for use or mis-use of the crates.
+Please contact the relevant sub-community before using these crates outside
+of Mesa3D.
+
+Official Mesa distribution of crates will likely have wait until improvements
+are made in the Meson build system:
+
+- https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2173
+
+The Meson build system is the only build system officially supported by
+Mesa3D.
